Beach Day

This afternoon we headed out to the beach with my friend Casey and her son Howie. It was a dog friendly beach were Isis was able to run around and have a good time. We all had fun playing in the water, digging holes in the sand which turned into digging for clams, and meeting the other kids and dogs at the beach. I took my camera but between the kids and Isis I never managed to get it out. We are going to start making our beach trip a weekly thing while the weather is still so nice. It was a great beach with sand and rocks but not a lot of people. Its a bit of a walk down but well worth it. I just hope that a bunch of people dont find out about it. There was a the perfect amount of people there today!

Baby Cael has arrived!

Olivia and John welcomed Cael Victor into our families on Saturday night July 18th at about 9:45 pm. He is one of the cutest little bundles of joy I have ever seen. He weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 22" long. Olivia and John allowed me the honor of helping them bring another nephew into my life. I absolutely love helping to bring babies into the world. I cant wait to go spend more time with Olivia and baby Cael.

This was right before he found his thumb.

Concerts in the Park

Each Thursday the city of Everett puts on a kids concert at Silverlake Park. We have gone to two of them andenjoyed them thouroughly. I have pics from the first one which featured Recess Monkey. The second one was Tim Noah who I would love to see again. Unfortunately the battery in the camera was dead. We were going to go yesterday but I was feeling under the weather so we had to pass. We will be back out there next week though!

Don't look at me while I am dancing!

Wishing it was sunnier out

Phedora was feeling a little under the weather but we thought some fresh air might do her some good.

Happy Birthday to ME

On June 26th I turned 30! Hard to believe it but I did. Yet I dont really feel any older yet. Dan and the kids and I went to Red Robin for lunch and spent the rest of the day getting ready for our BBQ on Sat night to celebrate with friends and family. All in all it was a great 30th. Thank you to everyone who came to help me ring in my 30's!
Sorry no pictures from the party, but it was great fun!

Not really sure what was going on when this one was snapped

I'm trying to eat my lunch!

They decided that it would be fun to embarrass me and have them sing me Happy Birthday.

The kids enjoying my birthday sundae

And some root beer

Dan being his usual silly self :) I love him so much!

Swimming Lessons

Back in June Hayden and Phedora took swimming lessons for a week at the YMCA in Everett. Unfortunately I dont have any pics of Phedora since she got in trouble for her attitude and wasn't allowed to finish the class. But she had a lot of fun the first couple of days she was there.

Sorry its so dark but Hayden is floating all by himself.

Playing around on the side of the pool learning how to swim on his own :)
